What was the number one song in August of 1983?

The Billboard Hot 100 was first published in 1958 with Ricky Nelson's "Poor Little Fool" at the top. But I'll bet you anything that Billboard did not anticipate the glittery pop music that was to dominate their charts when the 1980s came along.

As a barometer for tracking the hottest songs of the moment, the Hot 100 is the place to go, and in August of 1983, the song of the moment was extremely clear.

Do you remember what it was, or did you huff too much hairspray?
